The 800 Gmat Blog

For what ever reason you’ve decided to take the Gmat. Congratulations! Roughly 30 people each year score 800 on the Gmat. Why not you? It’s time for the 800 Gmat Blog. I’m sure you know there are many Gmat courses on the web. The problem is that these courses cost a lot of money. And if you have the money by all means you should take a course.

“All of the lessons are based on my notes taken from a reputable test prep company. I’ve taken an expensive GMAT course so you don’t have to.“

For the rest of you, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re like me, you’re a broke student.  I’ve always believed that education should be available for all those who want it, not just the privileged. That’s why I created this gmat blog. This blog will offer free gmat prep advice to take the absolute beginner to scoring well over 600 on the gmat and with enough study time and dedication over 700. I will be showing you exactly how to win the gmat fight without spending a penny. That’s right, this is going to cost nothing. No credit card required. Thanks for stopping by.

Question:

After a few weeks’ experience, apprentice jewelers can usually begin to discriminate, though not with absolute certainty, genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds.
(A) genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds
(B) genuine diamonds apart from imitations
(C) between genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds
(D) among genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds
(E) whether diamonds are imitation or genuine

Spolier: C

Solution:

Both “Discriminate between X and Y” and “Discriminate X from Y” are correct idioms.  Therefore, we can eliminate B, D, and E. To decide between A and E the rule is:

We use “Discriminate X from Y” –for opposite things
We use “Discriminate between X and Y” — for similar things

Since we are comparing two similar objects, we use “Discriminate between X and Y”.

The correct answer is C.

First of, thank you for reading my gmat blog. My name is Randy.  I hope you find the material on this site useful.  I originally started blogging about the GMAT as a way to help me. I felt that if I was able to truly understand the concepts on the GMAT exam I should be able to explain it to someone else.

I know your thinking another gmat blog. There are many GMAT blogs out there. There are some very good ones. Most GMAT blogs are about people’s experience.  I wanted my blog to be a bit different from what’s out there.

I want this to be the ultimate gmat blog. Let me know how I can improve my gmat blog for you.

Enjoy.

Thank You Again,

~Randy
